Reperformance of “Work” featuring Donna Costello

Original “Work” created and performed by Karen Bernard in 1993. Reperformance is by Donna Costello with costume by Liz Prince and music by Wendy Chambers.

“I relate to the constant one direction focus one has in life with what needs to be done and the hardship, the repetitiveness, the resignation and even the joy in it all. I feel like I have only scratched the surface of where the piece can take me and I look forward to this last month of rehearsal to find my own journey along Karen’s path.”

Triskelion Arts presents Karen Bernard/Solo, a two part program at 8 PM on October 17 and 19. The first piece, 1993-1996 It Could Have Been Different, contains excerpts from four works that Bernard created from 1993-1996. Reperformances are by Donna Costello, Jil Guyon, Ryan Migge, Lisa Parra and Stacy Lynn Smith.

The second piece is the premiere of Bernard’s Suspending and Other Tricks follows: We are taken on a voyeuristic journey, sharing a birds-eye view from outside an arched window to the inside of a room where Bernard grapples with the limitations of aging and mortality.

Please support this project. We need $2,241 to meet our goal with 21 days left.
